About the Book

This volume is the second annotated collection of essays for the popular press with which I have been involved since 2019; the first was published in March of 2023. Each is annotated with a Prologue (Why?) and an Afterword (What has happened since?). Each was motivated by a climate-related issue that was in the public eye for more than the usual 24 hours. Each discusses the relevance of robust and evolving science to public discourse about climate change. They confront issues involved in building public support for informed decisions about how to allocate scarce funds to personal and social investments to abate, adapt, or suffer in coping with climate risks. The essays sometimes address distractions and deflections that are persistently advanced by organized programs of denial, misinformation, and disinformation as well as the occasional personal attack.

About the Author :
Gary Yohe is the Huffington Professor of Economics and Environmental Studies, Emeritus at Wesleyan University, USA. He shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize as a senior member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In 2024, he was ranked 24th worldwide by ScholarsGPS in lifetime contribution to the social science of climate change. The primary foci of his work include exploring and communicating the economic and social risks from climate change as well as elaborating ways to defend ourselves through mitigation, adaptation and ameliorating residual suffering (humanity's only three choices). He has published over 175 peer-reviewed papers in the academic literature and more than 100 opinion pieces in reputable media outlets. Yohe served within the Obama Administration as Vice-Chair of the Third National Climate Assessment and on many panels for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. He has been Co-Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Climatic Change since 2010.
